Not sure if you have already tried this, but. Worth a shot.
A recommendation to make things easier would be the HLDS update tool.
Linux version from Steam can be found
here.
Linux command line parameter:
Code:
./steam
-command update
-game tf
-dir <Steam DIR, surround with quotes if spaces are in it>
This SHOULD enable auto updates for the server.
If the update parameter doesn't work. Hmmm.. Try: -autoupdate
It should work with one of those two lines
Edit: Didn't see your last post until jsut now, El D. Hmm.. That script should be possible. Will look into it and see what pops up.
